-# Architecture: Orchestration Engine
+# Architecture: Orca
 
-(Initial Draft)
-The system will consist of:
-1. **CLI Tool**: The primary interface for users and AI agents.
-2. **Controller/Server**: A lightweight daemon managing state and scheduling.
-3. **Agent/Worker**: A daemon running on each node to execute workloads.
-4. **State Store**: A simple, local-first state persistence mechanism.
+## System Overview
 
-## Design Pillars
-- Security before features.
-- Bug fixes before features.
-- NFRs before features.
+Orca is a single-binary, offline-first orchestration engine. The system consists of three logical components, all compiled into one `orca` binary and selected via subcommands.

+## Component Details
+
+### 1. CLI Layer (`cmd/orca`, `internal/cli`)
+- **Framework**: Cobra (industry standard, familiar to operators)
+- **Subcommands**: `version`, `init`, `status`, `node`, `job`
+- **Output**: Human-readable by default; `--json` flag for machine consumption
+- **Discovery**: All subcommands self-document via Cobra's auto-generated help
+
+### 2. Daemon Layer (`internal/daemon`)
+- **Server**: `net/http` with `http.ServeMux` (no external router for v0.1)
+- **TLS**: `crypto/tls` with self-signed certs (mTLS-ready)
+- **Ports**: Configurable (default `:8443` for API, `:8080` for health)
+- **Graceful Shutdown**: `signal.NotifyContext` with SIGINT/SIGTERM
+
+### 3. Core Engine (`internal/engine`)
+- **Node Registry**: In-memory map of node IDs → metadata, persisted to SQLite
+- **Task Executor**: `os/exec.CommandContext` with `WaitDelay` (Go 1.25+) for clean process termination
+- **Job Scheduler**: Single-node FIFO queue (multi-node deferred to v0.2+)
+- **Audit Logger**: `slog.NewJSONHandler(os.Stderr, ...)` with structured fields
+
+### 4. State Store (`internal/store`)
+- **Driver**: `modernc.org/sqlite` (pure Go, CGO-free)
+- **Location**: `~/.orca/orca.db` (user-mode) or `/var/lib/orca/orca.db` (system-mode)
+- **Schema**: `nodes`, `jobs`, `tasks`, `audit_log` tables
+- **Migrations**: Embedded SQL files, applied on startup
+
+## Data Model
+
+### Node
+```go
+type Node struct {
+    ID        string
+    Name      string
+    Address   string
+    State     string
+    JoinedAt  time.Time
+    LastSeen  time.Time
+    Metadata  map[string]string
+}
+```
+
+### Job
+```go
+type Job struct {
+    ID        string
+    Name      string
+    Spec      string
+    Status    string
+    CreatedAt time.Time
+    StartedAt *time.Time
+    EndedAt   *time.Time
+}
+```
+
+### Task
+```go
+type Task struct {
+    ID        string
+    JobID     string
+    Command   string
+    Args      []string
+    Env       []string
+    PID       int
+    ExitCode  int
+    Status    string
+    CreatedAt time.Time
+    StartedAt *time.Time
+    EndedAt   *time.Time
+}
+```
+
+## Security Architecture
+
+### Authentication
+- **v0.1**: mTLS for all API endpoints (self-signed CA)
+- **v0.2+**: Token-based auth as alternative
+
+### Audit Logging
+- All state-changing operations emit structured log records
+- Fields: `timestamp`, `actor`, `action`, `resource`, `result`, `error`
+- Stored in SQLite `audit_log` table and stderr (JSON)
+
+### Input Validation
+- All CLI inputs validated via Cobra's `Args`/`ValidArgs` functions
+- All API inputs validated at handler boundary
+- HCL/YAML specs parsed with strict schemas
+
+## Key Architectural Decisions
+
+| ID | Decision | Rationale |
+|----|----------|-----------|
+| AD-001 | Single binary with subcommands | Simpler distribution, aligns with simplicity pillar |
+| AD-002 | modernc/sqlite (CGO-free) | Cross-compile friendly, no CGO toolchain needed |
+| AD-003 | net/http (no framework) | Stdlib suffices; avoids external router dependency |
+| AD-004 | os/exec with WaitDelay (Go 1.25+) | Clean process termination, native to Go |
+| AD-005 | Cobra for CLI | Industry standard, familiar to operators |
+| AD-006 | slog for logging | Native to Go 1.21+, no external dependency |
+| AD-007 | HCL for job specs | Familiar to Nomad/HashiCorp users |
+| AD-008 | Single-node scheduling (v0.1) | Multi-node scheduling deferred to v0.2+ |
+
+## Anti-Patterns (Explicitly Avoided)
+
+- No controller/agent split (single binary)
+- No CRDs / custom resource definitions
+- No web UI (CLI-only)
+- No service mesh
+- No container runtime integration
+- No multi-tenancy
+- No cloud provider integrations
+- No auto-scaling
+- No admission controllers
+- No complex scheduling algorithms
+
+## Dependency Map (minimal)
+
+```
+github.com/spf13/cobra           # CLI framework
+github.com/hashicorp/hcl/v2      # HCL parser
+modernc.org/sqlite               # SQLite (pure Go)
+github.com/google/uuid           # UUID generation
+```
+
+Total: ~4 direct dependencies. No web framework, no ORM, no RPC framework.
+
+## Deployment Model
+
+```
+User Machine                          Server Node
+┌──────────┐                         ┌──────────────────┐
+│ orca CLI │─────── mTLS ──────────▶│ orca daemon      │
+│          │                         │ ├── API server   │
+│          │                         │ ├── Engine       │
+│          │                         │ └── SQLite store │
+└──────────┘                         └──────────────────┘
+```
+
+For v0.1, the CLI and daemon can be the same binary on the same machine. Multi-node is deferred.

+- **Territory**: `**/auth/**`, `**/audit/**`, `internal/security/**`
+- **Active**: true
+- **Reason**: mTLS, audit logging, and input validation are first-class concerns.
+
+### frontend-engineer
+- **Active**: false
+- **Reason**: No web UI in v0.1.
+
+### devops-sre
+- **Active**: false
+- **Reason**: No container/cloud integrations. Release flow is handled by CoreCI.
+
+## Territory Enforcement
+
+- **Mode**: `warn` (per `config.json`)
+- **Behavior**: Out-of-territory file changes log a warning but do not block.
+- **Rationale**: Allows flexibility during early development; tighten to `strict` post-v0.1.

+- **REQ-006** (Security-first audit logging via `log/slog`) — `cli/audit.go` + structured slog in daemon ✓
+- **REQ-017** (`context.Context` propagation in all I/O) — all handlers use `r.Context()` with bounded timeouts ✓
+- **REQ-019** (Cobra CLI framework) — `orca daemon` subcommand via Cobra ✓
+
+## Must-Have Checklist (from PLANS.md)
+
+- [x] `internal/daemon/server.go` — `net/http` server with `http.ServeMux` and lifecycle (MarkReady/Shutdown)
+- [x] `internal/daemon/health.go` — `/healthz` and `/readyz` handlers
+- [x] `internal/daemon/jobs_handler.go` — `/v1/jobs/*` handlers (GET collection, GET item, GET tasks-for-job)
+- [x] `internal/daemon/nodes_handler.go` — `/v1/nodes/*` handlers (GET collection)
+- [x] `internal/daemon/tasks_handler.go` — `/v1/tasks/*` handlers (GET collection with filters)
+- [x] Graceful shutdown via `signal.NotifyContext` in CLI
+- [x] Health endpoint checks SQLite connectivity (PingContext with 2s timeout)
+- [x] CLI subcommand wired to daemon — `internal/cli/daemon.go` orchestrates Server with signal handling
+
+## Security Notes (security-engineer audit)
+
+- All handler errors logged via `slog` with `component: daemon` tag; no request/response bodies logged
+- Input validation on all path/query IDs via `validateID()` (rejects control chars, path traversal)
+- `ReadHeaderTimeout`, `ReadTimeout`, `WriteTimeout`, `IdleTimeout` set on `http.Server`
+- Readiness flag flips to `false` at shutdown start so load balancers stop routing
+- Audit log records all CLI mutations (node join/leave/forget) with actor, action, result

+- [x] `CHANGELOG.md` auto-generated from `---ci---` commit blocks via `make changelog`

+
+- **REQ-007** (CoreCI full release flow via `.coreci.yml`) — 4 pipelines defined; release gated on `refs/tags/v*` ✓
+- **REQ-014** (`gosec` + `govulncheck` in CI pipeline) — `validate` pipeline runs `gofmt -l` and `go vet`; `test` runs with `-race` and coverage. Security scanning tools are out of scope for v0.1 minimalism; deferred. (Marked partial.)
+
+## Release Pipeline Detail
+
+```yaml
+release:
+  when: { ref: "refs/tags/v*" }
+  steps:
+    - name: build-artifact     # builds with -ldflags, generates CHANGELOG, tars
+    - name: gitea-release      # installs `tea`, creates Gitea release
+```
+
+The release pipeline only runs on tag pushes. `tea releases create` is invoked
+with the changelog as `--note-file` and the tarball as `--asset`.
+
+## ldflags Path Note
+
+Version variables live in `internal/cli/root.go`, not `cmd/orca/main.go`. The
+Makefile and .coreci.yml use the fully qualified package path:

+| ID | Question | Decision | Rationale | Confidence |
+|----|----------|----------|-----------|------------|
+| D-001 | Single binary or multi-binary distribution? | **Single binary** | Simpler distribution; subcommands baked into one `orca` binary. Aligns with simplicity pillar. | 0.95 |

+| D-003 | Inter-node communication? | **Embedded HTTP (net/http) over loopback, mTLS for cross-node** | No external RPC framework needed for v0.1. HTTP suffices. | 0.85 |
+| D-004 | Scheduling algorithm for v0.1? | **Single-node only (no scheduling)** | Multi-node scheduling is out of scope for v0.1. Tasks run on the node they're submitted to. | 0.90 |
+| D-005 | CLI output format? | **Human-readable by default, `--json` flag for machine consumption** | Serves both humans and AI agents. | 0.95 |
+| D-006 | Job/task definition format? | **HCL or YAML in `.hcl`/`.yaml` files** | Familiar to Nomad/HashiCorp users; simpler than JSON for humans. | 0.88 |
+| D-007 | Authentication? | **mTLS for v0.1, token-based deferred** | mTLS is the most secure default. Tokens can be added later if needed. | 0.80 |
+| D-008 | Container runtime? | **Direct process execution (no container runtime) for v0.1** | Avoids the Docker/container dependency. Pure process management. | 0.85 |
+| D-009 | Configuration file location? | **`~/.orca/config.hcl` and `/etc/orca/orca.hcl`** | Standard XDG-style paths. | 0.90 |

+description: CIAgent release and shipping policy — applies to v0.2+ and all subsequent milestones.
+---
+
+# Release Policy: Orca
+
+Standing rules for the `ciagent-ship` and `ciagent-run` workflows. These apply to **v0.2+ and every future milestone** of Orca.
+
+## Rule: Every Phase Has a Release
+
+**Every phase tag MUST produce a Gitea release, not just a git tag.**
+
+- A `git tag` alone is a pointer, not a release. Releases carry the built artifact (tarball) and notes.
+- For each `vX.Y.Z` phase tag, `ciagent-ship` must invoke `scripts/release.sh vX.Y.Z` (or equivalent) and produce a release in Gitea with:
+  - Tarball asset `orca-${VERSION}-${OS}-${ARCH}.tar.gz`
+  - Release notes extracted from `---ci---` blocks since the previous tag
+  - Title `Orca ${VERSION}`
+- The milestone tag (`vX.(Y+1).0` for feature milestones) gets a release too, plus a milestone-summary body listing all phases and REQ coverage.
+
+## Rule: Milestone Tag = Next Version (Never the Base)
+
+- **Feature milestone**: patches `v0.5.1`…`v0.5.N` → milestone tag is `v0.(Y+1).0` (NOT `v0.Y.0`).
+- **Major milestone**: minors `v0.Z.0` → milestone tag is `v1.0.0`.
+- **NFR milestone**: no separate milestone tag — the final patch IS the deliverable.
+- Tags must be strictly greater than all existing tags on the same `major.minor` line.
+
+## Rule: One Tag, One Release, One Push
+
+For each ship, the sequence is:
+1. `git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "..."`
+2. `scripts/release.sh vX.Y.Z` (builds, packages, creates Gitea release with tarball)
+3. `git push origin <branch> --tags`
+
+The release step is NOT optional. Skipping the release is a ship failure.
+
+## Rule: PHASE5_VERIFICATION / PHASE6_VERIFICATION Are Verifier Artifacts
+
+Each `PHASENN_VERIFICATION.md` in `.ciagent/` is the verifier's report for that phase. These are committed alongside the verification commit and remain in `.ciagent/` as historical evidence for the milestone. They are referenced by the milestone release notes.
+
+## Rule: PHASE##_VERIFICATION.md Naming
+
+Phase verification reports are committed as `.ciagent/PHASE##_VERIFICATION.md` (zero-padded, e.g. `PHASE5_VERIFICATION.md`, `PHASE6_VERIFICATION.md`) and are part of the ship record.
+
+## Why This Matters
+
+Tags are cheap. Releases are the contract — they tell a downstream user "this version exists, here is the artifact, here is what changed." Treating releases as optional means downstream tooling (CoreCI consumers, package managers) has no stable surface to pull from. Every ship creates a release. No exceptions.
